Best foundation ever

I’ve used this foundation for 13 years and have never found anything as good as this!! Always flawless looking skin that lasts all day and night. Really sad they discontinued this product because I haven’t been able to find a foundation as good as this one

my fav foundation🥹

literally my favorite foundation ever. i’ve tried so many and this is so wonderfully full coverage, smooth, and not patchy at all. it wears so nicely with concealer and powder ofc. i apply it w a brush and remove excess w/ a damp beauty blender and the coverage is still amazing. i have some acne and started tretinoin while using this foundation and it works w/ my skin basically changing skin types. LOVE.

Oxidizes-beware

Perfect, smooth, soft look when first applied. However, throughout the day, even with primer it changes to a more orangey color. I’m mainly inside the (freezing cold) office all day, and it still gets oxidation. If I go outside/ on tours, it drastically changes and it’s really embarrassing honestly. Plus, I have oily skin and have to dab or powder about 3-4 hours in. And I use moisturizer, aloe and a primer. Pretty upsetting. The shade and texture AT FIRST is perfect though. But I’ll be going back to HausLabs.

The Matte Velvet Skin Foundation does dry down darker once it is applied and exposed to air. For a perfect shade match, we recommend choosing a color 1-2 shades lighter than the shade that matches while is it wet.
